(OOC: It's not night. It's midday/early afternoon. We've worked it out, see.
Carry on, you're doing fine.)
Blue watches the sligs carry Spider off. "I don't like the look of that. . ." She turns to her brother and her father, who are both watching the creature which has just entered the small cirlcle of grass. "Guys, this looks pretty bad. On the event that somthing tells me those sligs shouldn't be taking Spider away like that, I'm gonna follow them and check where they take him." "Alright, Blue." Says Amphora. "We'll stay here for awhile. See you later." "Bye dad. Bye bro." Blue walks off.
Orion watches his sister leave, and turns back to look at the circle of burned grass some more. "This thing about Malice and Aura dissapearing is very strange. . ." He mumbles. He then turns to his father, who is watching Blue run after the sligs. "Dad?" Amphora turns around. "Yes, my son?" "You know when Aura stayed at our place?" Orion asks. Amphora nods his head. "Well, did you ever notice those strange stones attached to Aura's body?" Amphora nods his head again. "Yes. What about them?" "Ever noticed how sometimes they'd seem to glimmer slightly?" "Uhm. . . Actually now that I think of it, yes, they did." Says Amphora. "I think Aura might have had something to do with both her and Malice dissapearing like that." "Well you can never be sure about these strange powers, son." Amphora says, and shrugs. "I don't really care that Malice and Aura have gone, to be honest." "Why not?" Orion asks. "Malice was a right pain in the neck. I'm glad we might of seen the last of him. As for Aura, well, now she's gone, we can use Storage Shed One again." Amphora says. Orion frowns. "Is that all you care about?! They may have died!" "Son. . ." Amphora pats Orions head. "You have yet to use the 6th sence." "What do you mean?" Orion asks. Amphora continues. "Well, you know when you're mother died?" "Yes. . ." "Well, when she left camp for that last time, didn't you ever get a nagging thought? Something telling you that something bad was going to happen?" "Yes. . . I think I did." Orion replies. "Well, notice the absence of that nagging thought?" Amphora says. Orion thinks for a moment. "Yeah. Yeah, you're right." "Well there we go then." Amphora says. "They're not dead. My 6th sence tells me so." "Where do you think they've gone then if they're not dead?" Orion asks. "I dunno. And I don't think we'll find out. And judging by Malice's previous behaviour, I don't think we want to find out." "You're right, Dad." Orion says. "Come on, lets go home and check on Blue's friend." Amphora says.
Meanwhile, not so far away. . .
Blue takes out her staff, and keeps a safe distance away from the sligs using her very few stealth teqniques that she learned as a child when raiding Glukkon factories with her parents, she manages to follow them unoticed. . . For now.
